World's first respiratory assist device

ComRad is the world's first respiratory assist device specifically designed for long term treatment of patients with life threatning lung diseases. the device uses an innovative approach for heart-lung support by mimicking the elasticity of the native lungs. that makes the device more efficient with significantly lower associated risks.

It is also allowing affected patients, for te first time, to be mobilized again. Patients suffering from pulmonary hypertension are often bedbound or severely disabled by their disease. With ComRAD, patients can find back to an active life: its effectiveness is comparable to what we see in patients on heart assist devices who can restart all kinds of physical activities.
